The basics

Methyl folate, also known as L-5-MTHF, is the most bioavailable form of folate, vastly surpassing the capabilities of its synthetic counterpart, folic acid.

With a considerable portion of the population having difficulties converting folic acid to methyl folate, this supplement ensures efficient and effective nutrient absorption for optimal health.

Normal red blood cells and amino acids

The Science

Methyl folate is crucial for numerous pathways in the body. Unlike synthetic folic acid, which many can't convert efficiently, methyl folate is readily utilised. It's integral for the formation of red blood cells, ensuring oxygen is effectively transported throughout the body. Additionally, by reducing homocysteine, it shields the heart and maintains cardiovascular health. It also plays a pivotal role during pregnancy, reducing risks associated with low birth weight and neural tube defects. Beyond these benefits, methyl folate supports detoxification, aids normal cell division, and ensures robust immune function. Its profound influence on mental health is underscored by its ability to combat depression.

How will I know its working?

Enhanced energy and reduced fatigue, thanks to improved red blood cell formation.
Elevated mood and mental clarity.
Strengthened immune function and overall vitality.

When to take it?

Take 1 tablet daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
